Distribution of HHI scores across all scored EU member states for this axis.

This axis is computed from 2 data channel(s). Each channel represents a distinct trade-flow or dependency dataset.

Ch. A: Banking Claims Concentration

BIS Locational Banking Statistics (LBS)

Ch. B: Portfolio Debt Concentration

IMF CPIS

[MEDIUM]BIS creditor coverage gap: non-BIS-reporting countries absent as creditors; concentration may be biased upward.
[MEDIUM]IMF CPIS participation is voluntary; China does not participate. Portfolio debt concentration may understate true exposure.
[LOW]Partial overlap between Channel A (bank claims) and Channel B (portfolio debt securities held by banks).
[LOW]Croatia (HR) absent from Channel B (IMF CPIS). Score reduces to Channel A only.
